Veterans Day is a special day to me. It is a day that I can go to any Veterans Day activity and know that I am part of that fraternity of veterans — a very special fraternity of men and women who have come to the call of duty. Unfortunately this will be a sad Veterans Day for me. My father was a World War II vet, and he passed away this past July. So this Veterans Day I cannot say to my father, "Happy Veterans Day." I am very proud of my father and am very proud to be a veteran.
